There is something in the way Amon kissed Lilith that made her stand comfortably still even in the silence. There is also something in the way that Lilith kissed Amon that he was able to endure being touched for too long when he is a person who hated touch.
Put it simply, there was something in that kiss that made them act in such a way that they didn't expect.
It was a kiss that was passionate—a kiss that was gentle. It was a kiss that proved to them that what they said was wrong; what Amon said was wrong.
Amon said that love could not be rushed, love could not be tested. He said that love is not foolish and all that claims he said about what love should be.
But lo and behold... he ate his words.
His heart was racing for the woman before her. His fingers were trembling as he held her in his arms. He could feel her breath fanning over his lips. Her eyes were closed, but still he found her beautiful beyond compare.
